.As you will know if youāve been following us for a while my dad has Alzheimerās and Iāve been documenting our journey as a video diary to help dad look back occasionally and to hope that it helps others who are going through this too.
My dad has always been and will continue to be a true hero of mine. This man could cook like a chef, draw fine art, play in bands, build extensions, teach sailing at night school, be a quiz master, party hard, be a LAD, be a wealth of knowledge, but most of all be the best dad in the world to me.
Today my heart breaks, as I have decided to put him in a home and I KNOW itās for the best I really do and Iām hoping he sees it like that too. Although Iām telling him itās a holiday place where the older folk go!š
It may be the end of his āindependentā life but itās the start of a more social one hey?
Being the only thing he has the decision has been down to me and although people tell you āyouāre such a good daughter to your dadā trust me - youāll never feel like youāre doing enough when it comes to looking out for our parents.
Iām sad š but Iām also relieved that there will be less pressure on me and happier/more social times ahead for him.
Wish us luckš¤š¼ Check out āAlzheimerāsā in instagram story highlights to keep updated.
Love to you and yours.
